He’s back! After a five-year hiatus, Larry David has agreed to do another installment of his signature HBO comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm.

“We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of Curb and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” said HBO president of programming Casey Bloys.

Asked why he decided to come back, David said, “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’”

No cast has been confirmed but virtually all original cast members, including Jeff Garlin and J.B. Smoove have said that they would return for another season.

While the most recent eighth season of Curb had a final scene of Larry (David) in France that could serve as a series ending, HBO brass had kept up the hope that David would do another season eventually.

EXCLUSIVE: Two of the most popular Curb Your Enthusiasm recurring guest stars, husband-and-wife duo Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, have closed deals to return for the upcoming ninth season of Larry David’s HBO comedy. They will join the series’ core cast — David, Jeff Garlin, Cheryl Hines and Susie Essman — who also are set to come back.

I read that he's been diagnosed with Groat's Syndrome so is probably going to be too ill to take part in the new season

strawberry float!

This thread made me extremely happy then extremely sad in rapid time.

It's cool bro. A guy I know called Danny Duberstein had Groat's but he made a full recovery. At its worst everything he ate tasted like peaches and he forgot how to multiply. He could subtract, but he couldn't multiply.
